You'll get better advice if you ask in the General Discussion or Strategy & Tips boards... but your people are tired of being packed in like sardines without anything to do. I bet they'd love to go see a movie, or play some bingo at church or something. Or, if all else fails, put a bunch of them in chains and work 'em to death: THAT'LL teach 'em to complain!

(translation: Your city has unhappy people due to a large population. There are various ways to increase the happiness rate, or you can switch to the Slavery civic to and "pop rush" things to reduce the population directly)

A city gets one point of unhappiness per point of population, which is filed under "Too Crowded". This cannot be affected directly except by reducing your city's population, which does more harm than good. Instead it has to be compensated for with happiness bonuses from buildings, religion, luxuries etc.
